[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you sound like a control freak. Stop blaming the puppy. You can equally be at blame for not putting a puppy somewhere safe while you were carrying things on the stairs or not holding on or whatever. You sound like one of those people who never take responsibility. I feel sorry for you daughter. [/quote]

OP here.  [b]How is this any different than getting rear-ended at a stop light?  Would you blame the person who got rear-ended for driving a car that day and being in the wrong place at the wrong time?

I was walking down the stairs holding some laundry, and I thought the puppy was not around.  It seemed safe at the time to walk down the stairs.  I wasn't able to hold the hand rail because I was carrying the laundry.  Sometimes you can't hold the hand rail if you have something in both hands.

Since that incident, whenever I am walking down the stairs I make sure I know where the puppy is, and I always hold the hand rail.

That doesn't change the fact that I now have a life-long, permanent injury that bothers me every day.  I'm in an online support group for this condition, and that helps a lot.  They're the only ones who understand what I'm going through.  I have some resentment toward the puppy but mostly I just regret adopting the puppy in the first place.  It probably would have been better not to get another dog after our elderly dog died this past fall.

We were rear ended at a stop light. My dh's reaction calmed the situation and the lady that hit us, she was so sorry. Dh said, "that's why it's called an accident". We exchanged info and had to deal with insurance and getting our bumper and trunk fixed. Her car had no damage. It is an accident..... It wouldn't change anything to also hang onto resentment. Dh's neck still has pain a couple of years later. He's a firefighter and knows things can always be worse.
